Xiamen has many special snacks: pie, Tongan meat, Satay noodles, pancakes, leek boxes, horseshoe crisp, spiced, fried oysters, duck porridge, horse history, peanut soup, batter and so on. Most people may not have heard of fried noodles, but it is indeed the most famous Xiamen dish. It's definitely made in Xiamen, and foreigners seldom eat it. That's because the difficulty of making fried noodles is not comparable to that of ordinary fried noodles. The key lies in the skills of fried noodles and fried noodles. If you are not careful, it will be fried too hard or too bad. Stir-fried noodles were (and still are) a necessity at wedding banquets. Shuangquan restaurant, under KFC in the Cultural Palace, used to have a big store. Unfortunately, there is only one store on the first floor, and barbecue juice is sold at the door. All other stores on the first floor are rented to clothes sellers. It's really heroic. One of the representatives of the declining Xiamen time-honored brand, the head office is on the second floor. Try this shop before it closes. Fried noodles line is a special dish in Xiamen, which was originally created by the original "Quanfulou" and "Shuangquan Restaurant". The cooking method is as follows: choose the best noodles (also called noodles in some places) and fry them in a 70% hot oil pan until they are red and yellow. Take it out and scald it with boiling water to remove grease for later use. Take lean meat, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms and garlic seedlings as ingredients, shred and fry until cooked, use flat fish and shrimp sauce, add Shaoxing wine as appropriate, and then fry fried noodles. Season with sand tea sauce and red hot sauce when eating. Ximen frozen bamboo shoots are said to be the only authentic one in Xiamen at present. It is located next to the west gate of Zhongshan Park. If you don't know, you can go in from the south gate of the bus station and go west, but you'd better ask passers-by, because the west gate of Zhongshan Park is really remote, and you may not be able to find those you haven't been to. At present, Mr. and Mrs. Liao are operating. This frozen bamboo shoot was sold side by side by Liao Jia's father, with a history of more than 70 years. It is said that in the early days, Liao Jia's father often stopped at Ximen, where many addicts often found him. He habitually called his frozen bamboo shoots Simon, and when he reached the age of opening a shop, he naturally used this name as the name of the shop. Now the husband and wife are running a business, and they work in shifts. One hand produces frozen bamboo shoots at home and the other hand sells them in the shop. It can sell 100 kilograms every day. This is the original bean jelly of bamboo shoots, which is made of cucumber, ginger, peanut butter, superior soy sauce, choking mustard and local sweet and spicy sauce. Don't put frozen bamboo shoots in the refrigerator, put them in a clay box with ice cubes, and they taste cool, hot and sour, choking. There is a plate of money for 5 yuan. The price is very reasonable. In addition, there used to be a street stall selling authentic frozen bamboo shoots outside Lujiang Cinema, but it has disappeared since the reorganization of the city. Soil bamboo shoot jelly is a kind of frozen product processed from unique products. It contains colloid and belongs to annelids, and its scientific name is Sandworm. It is two or three inches long. Bamboo shoots are caught from the sand, kept for a day to spit out impurities, and then boiled in a pot. Because it is as high in collagen as pigskin, sticky and sticky. Naturally cooling after taking out and solidifying into a bowl of bamboo shoots. After boiling, the colloid contained in it is dissolved in water and cooled. With soy sauce, northern vinegar, sweet noodle sauce, hot sauce, mustard, garlic, jellyfish coriander, shredded white radish, shredded pepper and tomato slices, all kinds of flavor snacks are available. The shrimp noodles in the shrimp noodle snack bar are very distinctive and are the signature snacks in Xiamen. Wu is the only person in Xiamen who can do this, so not many people know how to eat. Its special feature is that the soup head is "singing opera, chef soup", and a kind of shrimp called "dog shrimp" is used. The shell is removed, the meat is cooked, and the soup for noodles is made by chopping shrimp shells and shrimp heads, boiling them with pig bones, and filtering off the residue with gauze. The ingredients are simple: shrimp and lean slices. The whole bowl of noodles must be added with garlic paste and leek slices, which is definitely the finishing touch and plays the role of enhancing fragrance and removing fishy smell, ensuring that there will be a feeling of "overflowing teeth and cheeks" every time you finish eating. You will definitely think that the best instant noodle, Master Kong/Unified Shrimp Noodles, can't compare with Wu's shrimp noodles. "Cowhide does not blow, and the train does not push." Wu's shrimp noodles are 65438. However, it should be reminded that compatriots in the inland may not be used to the taste of too fresh shrimp, and the smoky smell of garlic is not acceptable to everyone. Duck porridge Have you tried the duck porridge opposite Datong Primary School? It's near the ferry on Datong Road. If you don't know, just take Datong Primary School Station from the ferry station. There is only one stop. The store is not big either. No matter whether you go at noon or at night, you can see many customers in it, people of all ages. Duck porridge is light and cheap, suitable for the elderly, women and children. Salty porridge and ingredients are sold separately. Add duck neck if you can bite, and oyster fish if you can't bite. In addition, there are many miscellaneous ingredients to match. There is a "park satay noodles" next to it. Business is always worse than porridge shop. Customers are usually only one-fifth of those in porridge shops. The noodle shop owner often looks at the porridge shop with envy. He may be lamenting that Sadie's face is in the wrong place. Shacha skewers on Zhongshan Road can be seen everywhere, but the most famous one is Yapo Shacha skewers. Yapo Cafe is the earliest place to drink coffee in Xiamen. It is said that it has a history of several decades. The storefront is small, the decoration is extremely ordinary, and it looks a little old. There is a mezzanine inside, and it feels very low. Back-to-back old tables and chairs in the 1980 s, I feel that I have never changed new styles since I was a child. You may not believe it, but it is such an antique place that always attracts some high school students in their sixties to fifties. Location: Walk from Siming Cinema to the lake, past a nameless fast food restaurant, and then past a sports shoe store. After that, you will see a small shop with a dim facade. The sign says "Yapu Cafe". Okay, here we are. Go in and feel the local cafes in old Xiamen in the 1980s. Almost everyone who has been to Xiamen has tasted Satie noodles. Some people say it tastes good, others say it's not so good. Some are too sweet, others are not spicy enough. However, for Xiamen people, satay noodles range from snacks to large ones, and the three ingredients such as large intestine, lean meat and dried bean curd are almost added most frequently, and of course there are some other special ingredients. I remember when I went out to eat Satay noodles with others, in order to show that I was a "gourmet" in Xiamen, I always ordered some strange ingredients, such as rice blood, large intestine head, kidney flower, duck intestines, and a kind of meat slices called "pork liver margin" and so on. Originally, I thought the choice of ingredients was still a very personal thing, but after eating it, I felt that the original three tastes smoother. After all, no one grew up. There are several good Satay Noodles shops near Zhongshan Road. The one in the ninth market (next to Ding 'an Square) is good, but there are too many people. Occasionally, the sand tea soup is sold too fast, and it will be diluted with water, and the taste will be slightly lighter. /kloc-the one behind 0/00 is better. Unfortunately, the store is too small, and you often have to set the table with strangers, which makes it uncomfortable to eat. There is a restaurant near cultural palace station on Zhongshan Road that also sells roasted dumplings. Business is good, but the store is too small, which can be said to be extremely small. It may not be much bigger than your kitchen (I suspect it may be the smallest Shadie noodle shop in Xiamen). There are only three tables, so it is inevitable to set up a table with strangers and often can't eat. There are several people waiting at the door in front of you. Who told you it was opened in this feng shui treasure house? Maybe it's because the shop on Zhongshan Road is too expensive (usually 6000 yuan per month). The boss hasn't expanded the store for more than ten years, and maybe he can set a new world record. Eating in such a crowded place is also a must. The one opposite Siming Cinema should be the best. The storefront is medium (actually very small), the customers are medium, and the mezzanine has cold air conditioning, that is, sometimes you will add more ingredients that you didn't order, and of course you will have to pay more in the end. Yuehua Satay Noodles (few people can come out after eating noodles and look up at the name of the noodle shop, except this one, because it has always been in the newspaper), located near Siming West Road and Shengping Road. You can walk along the road next to 100 and look for it slowly. You can also follow Shengping Road between Hualian Department Store and Customs Building, and go straight from the ferry station for about 200 meters. On the right is a CoCo Lee primary school, and on the left is an alley. There is a barber shop at the entrance of the alley, and there is a "Yue Hua Satay Noodles" in the alley 10 meter, which is the so-called "authentic alley". Excerpted from Xiamen Evening News: "No.78 Zhenbang Road. It turned out that people were called Sadie Noodles on Zhenbang Road, and only ten years ago did they hang up the name of master Chen Yuehua. This shop is now mainly run by daughters and daughters-in-law. But the old lady Yuehua will definitely come over early every morning to make ingredients. It is said that her 80-year-old head is very flexible and her ingredients are extremely accurate. After mixing the ingredients, she didn't go home, but sat leisurely by the store on a hot day. This satay noodle soup is very strong, so for outsiders, it can't taste boring sweetness, but for locals, it is sweet. Soup is made of rock sugar, peanut butter, etc. There are many good things in this shop, including the pig's trotters tendon added to the noodles, that is, the film behind the pork loin strips, which are generally thrown away by us mercilessly. It's all sliced and connected with thin meat. It's slightly hot, tender and delicious. There is also a material called pig liver margin, which is a small piece of lean meat attached to the membrane next to the pig liver, which tastes particularly fragrant. Meat sellers in the nearby market know to leave these scraps to them, and when they get into the hands of these women, they become delicious. Sadie noodles in Xin Nan Xuan and Huang Ze River are not good, and the ingredients are few and inferior, especially the taste of soup is not right. Wu's satay noodles are better than China's famous snacks. Jiaozi, a snack bar in Wuzaitian, is very famous, near the ferry station. Xiamen meat dumplings taste sweet, oily but not greasy, and the color is bright red and yellowish. Most of them are made of mushrooms, dried shrimps, chestnuts, pork and glutinous rice. After fresh jiaozi is wrapped, it should be boiled in a pot until the water boils, and served with sand tea sauce, garlic, red hot sauce, seasoning soy sauce and coriander. It is really delicious. Need to be reminded that the meat dumplings should be eaten hot, otherwise the taste will be greatly reduced, so the roasted meat dumplings are worthy of the name. Wu Bao's taro is better, but Xin Nanxuan is not delicious. Recently, after the new Nanxuan was completely transformed, many snacks went bad. Satay noodles can be described as unpalatable. Cooked meat jiaozi feels a little hard. The degree of marketization of the new Nanxuan is the best among the old brands in Xiamen. There are more and more branches, but the taste of things is getting less and less authentic. Do you feel that the booth inside has been contracted out by others? Taro buns, snacks in summer and autumn. It is made by peeling taro, cleaning and mashing it into raw taro paste, adding a small amount of starch and refined salt, stirring evenly, coating a layer of oil on the inner wall of the bowl, adding stuffing prepared in advance, such as shredded pork, dried shrimps, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and water chestnut, and covering it with a layer of taro paste. Take it out and steam it in a steamer. It tastes better with Chili, mustard, sand tea sauce, etc. Peanut soup yellow and flower soup shop, opposite KFC at the ferry. Xiamen peanut soup is simple in materials, but exquisite in cooking. First, take out the defective peanuts, soak them in boiling water, then remove the film, add water and cook them in a casserole with slow fire. Sugar can only be put in peanuts when they are ripe. Continue to boil them in water until they are rotten. Then it is served with sweet and salty snacks, such as fried dough sticks, fried dates, leek boxes, meat buns, sweet buns, fried glutinous rice and so on. Wu's oil onion fruit is better. Mid-Autumn Festival is commonly known as "July and a half"; There is an ancient folk custom of offering salted nuts to ancestors. The method is: make shredded pork, diced water chestnut, fried flat fish or shrimp skin, rice sauce, white sugar, sweet potato powder, scallion, spiced powder and salt into balls, put them in a bowl and beat them into rice slurry to cook. When eating, you should cut it open and add some sand tea sauce, orange juice, garlic paste, radish acid and coriander. The taste is flexible, fragrant and delicious. According to research, the fried oysters in Taiwan Province Province were handed down from Xiamen. The oysters in Shuangquan restaurant have been fried too much, but the ones in Xinnanxuan are ok. There are general food stalls, but it is best to see if the oysters are fresh before ordering. I have eaten stale fried oysters. The taste is simply scary, the taste is particularly fishy, and the oyster sea is a bit dark. Never ask for this. Oysters are fried with "pearl oyster" (a small oyster) as the main raw material. Eggs, sweet potato powder and minced garlic are evenly mixed, then put into a pot, and appropriate amount of lard is added until both sides are crisp and yellow. When eating, garlic paste, coriander, sand tea sauce and so on. Can be used as ingredients to achieve crispy and delicious effects. You can taste the yellow batter in the peanut soup shop. In addition, I remember 10 years ago, two old Xiaxi markets were doing very well, but they disappeared after the demolition. If anyone knows where the second child market has moved, please tell me. The noodle sauce is made of delicious and fresh seafood such as shrimp, oyster, razor clam and mussel. When cooking, you should master the heat, so as to paste without chaos and paste clearly. In addition to seafood, duck blood or pig blood can also be added to the batter, or a string of pig large intestine can be put in the batter, so that the oil can be melted in, and the large intestine is cooked, and then fried dough sticks, fried chopped green onion and pepper powder can be used as seasoning, which is more fragrant and delicious. There are several old brands of fried spiced food, and the taste is similar. In fact, it is not difficult to do. You can try it yourself. There is one in the beautiful palace market that is said to be the best, but I don't think it is as delicious as my mother's. Fried spiced system is to mix lean meat with onion, flat fish, water chestnut, duck egg, monosodium glutamate, superior soy sauce, sugar and spiced powder. Stir well, roll with bean bags and fry in oil pan until cooked. Cut into small pieces and serve with sand tea sauce. Spices such as hot sauce, mustard, radish acid, radish and sweet sauce are more delicious. In addition, Wu's broth and noodles, Xin Nanxuan's salty glutinous rice soup and fish ball soup, Huang Ze's oyster batter, and Shuangquan restaurant's Jiali fish stewed cabbage are also famous points in Xiamen. " Braised duck in Xiamen Port "(Wal-Mart can buy it. It is said that because of its special fragrance, some people wonder whether it is added with poppy shells. "Youli salted duck" (there is a branch near the entrance of Grand Victory Railway) is also a must-buy sauce for Xiamen locals (salted duck is best eaten hot, and salted duck must be eaten cold).
